The game that I'm showing here was played last week. It was the start of a new year and a new tournament. This tournament is of the Swiss format and being the person right in the middle it meant that I was paired against the lowest rated player in the section. Typically that means for an easy game however one of the main things that I need to work on this year is winning games that I'm supposed to win.
When I play a lower rated player, I tend to be a bit sloppy in my games. Perhaps in the back of my mind I just think that they are going to blunder something to me so I can just move quickly until that happens. From experience, this is almost never the case and I have been known to drop games against lower rated players just for this reason.
So here is my game with some notes.

As you can see I was able to pull this one out but this game is still a great instructional tool as it outlines a very key point that many lower rated players see, the key of developing your pieces.
Have fun all.
